i had a perfectly good game going and i got to a point were the whole thing screwed up
i load the game everythings fine (it even takes the normal annoyingly long time to load lol)
i send one of my ships to destroy a ship orbiting a planet, it destroys it
i click turn everytings fine
i tell it to destroy the other ship orbiting and the planet and destroys it
i press turn and the button disappears like normal but doesnt come bak and non of the ships move when i zoom out like ther suppose to
usualy when its like this thers just a ton of ships to move and its just annoying but this time nothing moves
i know i didnt "freeze" because i zoom in on the starbases and their still turning
plsssssssssss help

(also when i try to move a ship that says ther 0/3 moves left for example its able to move...)

Hi!
I'd say game waits for a ship to move, but ship can't. Start pressing Enter. Besides "End turn" Enter also means "Skip (move ship)". It helped in some of my games.
You can also check the "Skip remaining ship movements" (or sth. similar) in game interface screen. Might work.

Post the contents of your debug.err file, as well.
It may give a clue as to what is happening.

I've had this happen before just before I started to get out of memory issues. I've always got autosave turned one every turn so i just kill the game reboot and start from the autosave. Has not happen since I increased my minimal virtual memory to 9G.

There used to be an issue if you moved a way point during this stage that the turn, the turn button would never come back until you found all the ships within one turn of the old waypoint and redirected them to the new one.

Though by the sounds of it, this is not that issue the OP is describing.

Try saving the game then reloading it when the turn button disappears. This can sometimes "dislodge" it and make it reappear.
